The following was lovingly written by 
Frank's family...




Frank Mathew Schad 
passed away peacefully 
on January 18, 2025
 at the age of 90. 
Born on March 5, 1934
 to Erwin Albert Schad and 
Blanche Opal Kern Schad.
 Frank was a devoted husband, 
father, grandfather, and a loyal friend. 
He was a gentle giant with quiet strength, 
profound integrity, and unrelenting faith
 in our Lord and Savior.


Frank was preceded in death by his parents, 
and his brothers 
Harry Schad and Charles Schad.
 He is survived by his loving wife 
of 71 years, Patty Schad, 
his 4 children and 13 grandchildren. 
Oldest daughter Vicki Eimen 
and husband Dr. Mike Eimen, 
their daughters Rebecca Moore 
and husband Justin, 
Catherine Eimen and Kenny Sanders,
 and Elizabeth Clowers and husband Corey. 
Second daughter Debra Gorney 
and husband David Gorney, 
their daughter Jennifer Ruston 
and son Brian Gorney. 
Third daughter Kristi Butts 
and husband Marty Butts, 
their son Joe Butts, daughter Patricia Butts, 
and son Phillip Butts and wife Olivia. 
And, one son, Jeffrey Schad 
and wife Melanie Schad, 
their son Noah Ready and wife Audra, 
daughter Aubrey Tierney 
and husband Anthony (deceased), 
daughter Meghan Thornton, 
daughter Amber Merrell and husband Matt, 
and daughter Melissa Caviness 
and husband Coy.
 In addition, Frank's large, treasured family
 also included 28 great grand children, 
3 great, great grand children, 
numerous nieces and nephews
 and several sister and brother-in-laws.


Frank was born and lived in Tulsa
 up until he and Patty moved
 to Mannford, OK in 1974. 
He dedicated nearly 60 years to his career
in the Bearing industry where he was
 greatly renowned and respected. 
He was an outdoors man 
who enjoyed hunting and fishing. 
But, his greatest love was breeding 
and raising race horses and 
cooking and grilling; 
he was famous for his homemade rub.
 His strongest love was for his family
 and he always looked forward to get together
 for holidays and special occasions…
or just because. 
He was a founding member at
 Crossroads Community Bible Church 
and served in many volunteer capacities 
in the community. 
Near and dear to his heart were
 Backpacks for Kids and Unpaid Lunch Balances
 both for Mannford Public Schools.
